Cookies Policy

Our websites use cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse the
websites and also allows us to improve our websites. For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use
them, please see our cookie policy on each of our individual sites.

Our use of your personal information:

Transfers of personal information

We use other companies, agents or contractors (“Service Providers”) to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of
services to you. For example, we may engage Service Providers to provide market research, marketing (including competitions),
advertising, communications, event management (including logistics, health and safety and audio-visual services), meetings and
bookings (including accommodation), training, IT, hosting and other infrastructure, subscription and discount management, payment
processing and data cleansing and processing services. In the course of providing such services, these Service Providers may have access
to your personal information. These third parties are contractually bound only to use personal information to perform the services that we
hire them to provide. We will always use our best efforts to ensure that all the Service Providers we work with will keep your personal data
secure.

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties:

l. in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or
buyer of such business or assets;
2. if any part of the Venture Marketing Group Limited or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data
about its customers will be one of the transferred assets; and
3. if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce our
terms and conditions or other agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Venture Marketing Group Limited.

If you use one of our virtual products, e.g. Directory Sites, Webinars etc., or choose to allow your badge to be scanned at an event, we may
pass the information you provide to third parties. Generally this will be via a process whereby you, as the user, visit or interact with a third
party. In some instances, for example, a products listing site, you may reach out directly to a supplier or exhibitor who may contact you in
return. In other instances our virtual products are sponsored and, in such cases the data you provided to us will be given to the sponsor.
Generally, we will let you know at the time of collection if a product is sponsored. If you wish to change your contact preferences with an
individual exhibitor/sponsor, please follow their own unsubscribe request details. Unsubscribing from a Venture Marketing Group product
will stop contact from that product in the future, but not the individual third parties whom you have interacted with independently.

Security of personal information

We use administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard personal information against loss, theft and unauthorised uses, access or modifications.
Certain areas of our websites may be password protected. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password(s) with anyone.

Payments made via our websites are processed in a secure environment using software provided by third party providers.

Third party websites and apps

Our websites may contain links to and from third party websites and we may provide you with details of apps provided by third parties. Please note that if you follow a link to any of these websites or download an app, these websites and apps will have their own terms of use and privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility of liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites or apps.

Your rights

You have the following rights with respect to the personal information that we hold about you:

Your right to access the information we hold about you

You have the right to ask us whether or not we process your personal data and to request information on the purposes of data processing as well as confirmation on whether we use your personal information for these purposes only.
You can request access to the information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact details set out below. We will endeavour to make our file of your information available to you within 1 month, although occasionally we may not be able to give you access to the personal information we hold about you (for example, we may not be able to give you access if it would unreasonably affect someone else’s privacy or if giving you access poses a serious threat to someone’s life, health or safety).

You also have the right to be informed of the third parties to which we transfer your personal data within the scope of this privacy policy.

Your right to have your information corrected or deleted

If you have an account with one of our websites, you can sign into that account to update your personal information. If you have problems updating the information on your account or if you would like us to delete your information, or if you would like us to ask the third party suppliers (those holding data for fulfilment purposes) to whom we transfer your data within the scope of this privacy policy to update or delete your information, please send your request to [email protected] and we will action it as soon as possible. There is also information about managing your personal information on our websites.

Your right to have your data transmitted to another organisation

You have the right to ask us to stop processing your data, even where that processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (for example, where the processing is necessary for the legitimate commercial objectives we pursue in the course of our business), including the profiling we undertake to send you personalised offers, product recommendations and similar content. You also have the right to object to any results of a processing activity that prejudice your rights and that are conducted exclusively through automated systems.
You also have the right to ask us to stop processing your data for direct marketing purposes, including any profiling we undertake for the purposes of direct marketing. We will in any case only send you marketing communications if you have previously agreed to this, but if you change your mind you can easily unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time by following the instructions included in these marketing communications.
Please note that, if you have consented to receive offers from our clients, our clients are responsible for taking account of your rights, including your right to opt-out of receiving offers from them. You may, however, at any time opt-out of receiving offers from third parties by logging in to your user account and changing the settings. If you had previously opted in, your personal data will cease to be transmitted to our partners from the time your request is processed.

Your right to object to us processing your data

Where we hold personal information about you with your consent or for the performance of a contract with you, you also have the right to ask us to provide you with the personal information we hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to transmit that data to another organisation.

Making a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authorities if you believe that we have not complied with applicable data protection laws.

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our sole discretion, without prior notice to you. Your continued use of our services or our websites following the posting of changes to these terms means that you consent to those changes.
